Please add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. It will be much easier for us to reproduce your situation and find out what the issue is when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}.

Instead of using sideways inside the node, you can just rotate the border of the shape instead. Further, with text width defined, the node contents will be flush left, so by removing text badly centered they end up at the right place. This also allows you to use \\ to add a line break. Last, don't use \large etc. as environments, you can specify the font size with font=\large in the style.
